I'm a 240 guy myself, and surveyed many posts on this.

Look in the 900 section.
Many recommend 940s, or 960s if you will change the timing belt religeously (960 has an interference engine).
940 has the 2.3L, same as 240, with a very similar auto tranny.
900s are RWD, basically an update of the 700s.
This is a path I'm considering, you might have a look at it.

The last year for 940 was '95, the last 960 '97.
The 90 series is a continuation of the 960, but I know precious little about that one.
